Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dredging equipment, and in particular to a sedimentation tank cleaning device that can operate in water. Background Technology
[0002] Well wastewater is usually collected and sent to sedimentation tanks. Because the wastewater has high turbidity, the sludge content is relatively high. In the sedimentation tank, the sludge cannot be discharged in time and often accumulates. Over time, this will affect the sludge settling effect. Therefore, regular dredging is very necessary.
[0003] Current dredging techniques typically involve pumping out the supernatant from the sedimentation tank and then manually entering to remove the sludge, sometimes assisted by engineering vehicles. However, the equipment used in these techniques generally cannot operate in water, and because sedimentation tank dredging requires drainage, the wastewater discharge from each unit must be shut down during drainage. Dredging operations severely impact production, making the process exceptionally cumbersome. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a sedimentation tank cleaning device that can operate in water without affecting normal underground production and is safe to operate.
[0005] The equipment includes ground base stations and dredging vehicles;
[0006] The ground base station integrates a power unit and a control unit;
[0007] The dredging vehicle includes a frame, a traveling mechanism, a sealed chamber, and a dredging unit; the traveling mechanism is mounted on the frame, and a sealed chamber is mounted on top of the frame. A control response unit is mounted inside the sealed chamber, and the control unit is signal-connected to the control response unit.
[0008] The dredging unit is located at the front of the frame, and the walking mechanism, dredging unit, and power unit are connected by hoses. This, in conjunction with the sealed chamber, enables the equipment to operate in water.
[0009] In other words, the ground base station outputs signals and power, and the control unit is connected to the control response unit in the sealed cabin. The signal response unit outputs electrical signals to control the walking mechanism and the dredging unit's dredging action. Based on the sealed cabin, and the power unit and the walking mechanism and dredging unit are connected by hoses, the equipment can meet the requirements for water-borne operations.
[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: it solves the problems of difficult and cumbersome sludge removal in existing sedimentation tanks. It enables the equipment to operate in water, thereby optimizing the sedimentation tank sludge removal process without affecting normal production. Furthermore, the equipment is safe to operate and easy to maintain. Attached Figure Description
